Capital Markets
Overview
As a full-service firm, we handle a wide range of transactions across the entire capital markets spectrum. Many of these are high-profile deals that reinforce our position as a top-tier firm. Notably, we have successfully managed global equity offerings under Reg. S/Rule 144A, including numerous privatisations of state-owned enterprises. In addition, we regularly advise on private placements, rights issues, and other share-related offerings such as convertible and exchangeable bonds.
We also have extensive experience advising on foreign offerings by issuers with significant interests in Indonesia, as well as bond issuances under global offering rules. Our expertise spans mergers, acquisitions, IPOs, consent solicitations, and exchange offers of debt instruments listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange or offshore.
Our lawyers are highly regarded for their client-centric approach and business-friendly mindset. Known for their responsiveness and quick turnaround times, we have earned a reputation for securing some of the most prominent capital market representations of 2010/2011. We place our clients at the heart of every transaction, treating their challenges as our own. This commitment has enabled us to build a strong advisory and retainer client base.
By working hand-in-hand with our clients, we have garnered a wealth of experience and a deep understanding of capital market and business dynamics across a wide range of sectors, including the aviation, communications, energy, oil and gas and financial services industries.
